RE: F.A.P. Familial Adenomous Polyposis

F.A.P. is a rare disease affecting 1 in 10,000. is there anyone here who also has this disease?

Yes, there are other people out here with this disease. I was diagnosed with it when I was 16 years old. I had almost all of my colon removed. I will soon be 50, and just diagnosed with NUMEROUS stomach polyps. In the process of choosing a treatment plan, also seeing a Geneticist to find out my precentage for developing cancer of the stomach.

I plan on being tested for this at Mayo Clinic in July! I have lots of stomach polyps, it was diagn. as Fundic Gland Polyps, last July. I have a daughter, age 21 and a son, 18. I'm so scared for them. I just pray I get all of this figured out. Please get back to me. I'm 48 yrs. old. I hope you are doing well.
